"Our lives are saturated by the mass media, and for better or worse, violent media are having a particularly detrimental effect on the well-being of children.
"As with many other public health threats, not every child who is exposed to this threat will acquire the affliction of violent behaviour.

The study is published in a special issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.
